El Dorado Chicken Restaurante Peruano, Peruvian restaurant in Eixample, Barcelona, Spain
El Dorado Chicken Restaurante Peruano is a Peruvian restaurant in the Eixample district of Barcelona, focused on roasted chicken prepared in a charcoal oven brought directly from Peru. The dining room is small and casual, set up for quick meals as well as longer sit-down visits.
The restaurant opened in 2015 on Balmes Street in Eixample and has kept the same cooking approach since the beginning. Over time it has become a regular spot for the Peruvian community in Barcelona.
The staff comes from different regions of Peru, so the cooking reflects a range of local traditions rather than a single style. Traditional sauces and side dishes from various parts of the country appear on the menu alongside the main roasted chicken.
The restaurant sits on Balmes Street and is easy to reach on foot from most parts of Eixample. A lunch menu is available on weekdays, and home delivery is offered for those who prefer to eat at home.
The chicken is marinated in garlic, cumin, salt, and oregano before roasting, which gives it a crispy skin and tender meat inside. This exact technique is borrowed from the traditional pollo a la brasa stalls found across Peru.
